Index

This was highly recommended to learners on the new PTLLS award and we have ordered a copy for our LRC, as well as recommending it to trainees. However, its value is somewhat diminished by the planned changes in teacher training qualifications, so not as much use will be made of it as was hoped, before it will need to be rewritten to meet whatever new course is designed.
